THE  RIVERSIDE  SOUVENIR. 

On  the  eighth  day  of  August,  i885,  forty  thousand  men  united  in  a  procession  to  escort  to  its  burial  place  the  body  of  General 
Ulysses  S.  Grant,  while  a  million  spectators  looked  on  at  the  solemn  and  unparalleled  obsequies.  New  York  was  thronged  as  never 
before.  It  was  a  Nation's  tribute  to  the  honored  dead.  The  highest  officials  of  the  country  and  of  the  several  States;  the  accredited 
representatives  of  foreign  governments  :  the  dignitaries  of  the  Church  and  the  Bench  ;  selected  organizations  of  the  Army  and  Navy  ; 
the  National  Guard  of  New  York  and  other  States  ;  thousands  upon  thousands  of  the  veterans  comprising  the  Grand  Army  of  the 
Republic ;  the  Senior  Major-General  of  the  United  States  Army  in  command  of  the  whole  : — these  were  but  notable  additions  to 
what  was,  after  all,  most  remarkable  as  the  gathering  of  mighty  hosts  of  Cilizcus  of  Ihe  Umtcil  Slates  to  pay  their  last  respects 
to  the  great  Captain  to  whom  the  country  owed  so  much. 

It  was  a  colossal  and  memorable  demonstration,  and  it  is  fitting  that  the  record  of  its  magnitude  and  special  features  be 
preserved  in  a  more  enduring  form  than  in  the  columns  of  the  press  of  the  day.  Through  all  the  years  of  those  who  participated 
in  or  witnessed  it,  it  will  be  remembered  as  one  of  the  chief  events  of  tlieir  lives,  and  by  them  the  artistic  souvenir  contained  within 
these  covers  will  be  handed  down  to  their  descendants  with  a  feeling  of  personal  pride  and  proprietorship.  The  great  multitude  of 
the  American  people  who  were  unable  to  witness  the  pageant,  and  the  inhabitants  of  foreign  lands  to  whom  the  name  of  Grant  is 
as  familiar  as  those  of  their  own  rulers,  will  find  here  the  best  substitute  for  actual  sight  of  a  cortege  which  has  never  been  equalled 
in  America  and  rarely  in  the  world.  The  historian  will  value  this  work,  inasmuch  as  the  views  are  photographically  accurate 
representations  of  the  features  of  the  parade  which  they  represent.  Instantaneous  photographs  were  taken  from  a  given  point  as 
the  several  regiments  or  other  important  elements  of  the  procession  passed  into  range,  and  these  views  have  been  (aithfully  trans- 
ferred to  stone  for  reproduction  upon  these  pages.

The  route  of  the  procession  from  the  City  Hall  was  through  Broadway,  Fourteentli  Street,  Fifth  Avenue,  Fifty-Seventh  Street, 
the  Boulevard,  Seventy-Second  Street  and  the  Riverside  Drive,  a  total  distance  of  about  seven  miles.  Through  all  the  streets 
affording  a  view  of  the  scene,  sidewalks,  balconies,  windows,  roofs,  were  crowded  with  the  multitudes  who  waited  in  place  from 
early  morning  to  mid-afternoon.  Emblems  of  mourning  were  universal  throughout  the  City  and  especially  noticeable  along  the  line 
of  march.  Major-General  Winfield  Scott  Hancock,  under  especial  orders  from  the  President  of  the  United  States,  assumed  command 
of  the  column,  and  among  the  pall-bearers  were  distinguished  leaders  of  the  army  against  which  the  Hero  had  fought,  side  by 
side  with  his  trusted  lieutenants  and  companions  in  arms.    The  North  and  the  South  clasped  hands  at  the  grave  of  Grant. 

Reference  has  been  made  to  the  presence  of  distinguished  men.  President  Grover  Cleveland  was  accompanied  by  Vice- 
President  Hendricks  and  the  following  members  of  the  Cabinet:  Bayard,  Secretary  of  State;  Manning,  Secretary  of  the  Treasury; 
Endicott,  Secretary  of  War ;  Whitney,  Secretary  of  the  Navy  ;  Lamar,  Secretary  of  the  Interior  ;  Garland.  Attorney-General ;  and  Vilas, 
Postmaster-General.  The  pall-bearers  were  Gen.  William  T.  Sherman,  United  States  Army  ;  Lieut. -Gen.  Phillip  H.  Sheridan,  United 
States  Army  ;  Admiral  David  D.  Porter,  United  States  Navy ;  Vice-Admiral  Stephen  C.  Rowan,  United  States  Navy  ;  Gen.  Joseph  E. 
Johnston,  of  Virginia  ;  Gen.  Simon  B.  Buckner.  of  Kentucky  ;  Joseph  W.  Drexel,  of  New  York  ;  Hon.  George  S.  Boutwell,  of  Massachusetts  ; 
George  W.  Childs,  of  Pennsylvania  ;  Hon.  John  A.  Logan,  of  Illinois ;  George  Jones,  of  New  York  ;  and  Oliver  Hoyt,  of  New  York.  The 
Church  was  represented  by  Bishop  Harris,  Methodist  Episcopal ;  Assistant  Bishop  -Henry  C.  Potter,  Protestant  Episcopal ;  the  Rev.  Dr. 
Chambers,  Reformed  ;  the  Rev.  Dr.  Field,  Presbyterian  ;  the  Rev.  Dr.  Bridgman,  Baptist ;  the  Rev.  Dr.  West,  Congregational  ;  the  Rev. 
Father  Deshon,  Roman  Catholic ;  the  Rev.  Robert  Collyer,  Unitarian  ;  and  Rabbi  Browne,  Hebrew.  Ex-Presidents  Rutherford  B.  Hayes 
and  Chester  A.  Arthur  occupied  one  of  the  carriages,  and  the  following  Governors,  with  their  staffs,  were  in  the  procession  :  Stokely,  of 
Delaware  ;  Pattison,  of  Pennsylvania  ;  Abbett,  of  New  Jersey ;  Harrison,  of  Connecticut ;  Robinson,  of  Massachusetts ;  Currier,  of  New 
Hampshire  ;  Wetmore,  of  Rhode  Island  ;  Pingree,  of  Vermont ;  Oglesby,  of  Illinois  ;  Stoneman,  of  California  (represented  by  State  Senator 
Taylor) ;  Robie,  of  Maine  ;  Alger,  of  Michigan  ;  Sherman,  of  Iowa  ;  Rusk,  of  Wisconsin  ;  Hubbard,  of  Minnesota  ;  and  Eaton,  of  Colorado. 

A  detailed  description,  of  the  order  of  the  procession  will  be  found  in  the  Appendix  at  the  end  of  this  book. 

General  Grant  died  at  Mount  McGregor,  near  Saratoga,  July  23d;  the  remains  were  conveyed  to  New  York  on  August 
5th,  and  lay  in  state  in  the  City  Hall  until  the  8th,  when  they  were  laid  in  the  selected  burial  place  in  Riverside  Park,  where 
ground  had  been  set  aside  for  the  purpose  by  the  City  Authorities.     Preference  for  New  York  City  as  a  place  for  his  interment  had 


THE  umn 

OF  THE 
UniVERSITr  OF  ILLINOIS 


been  expressed  by  General  Grant  before  his  death  ;  the  special  spot  was  selected  by  conference  with  the  family  after  his  decease, 
and  all  question  as  to  the  permanency  of  this  resting  place  is  settled  (if  there  were  any  doubt  before,)  by  the  following  correspondence 
between  the  Mayor  of  the  City  and  Mrs.  Grant  : 

October  i6,  1885. 

My  Dear  Mrs.  Grant  :  The  Executive  Committee  of  the  Grant  Monument  Association,  to  whom  was  intrusted  the  honored  and  patriotic  task  of  collecting  funds 
for  a  suitable  national  memorial  to  the  memory  of  your  distinguished  husband,  finds  itself  seriously  hampered  in  its  work,  and  to  a  great  extent  embarrassed,  by  utterances 
which  appear  from  time  to  time  in  the  daily  press,  and  often  purporting  to  come  from  your  family.  Our  Executive  Committee  is  muth  concerned  in  the  reports  quite 
industriously  spread  abroad  and  persistently  reiterated,  that  on  the  reassembling  of  Congress  a  preconcerted  effort,  with  the  consent  and  approval  of  your  family,  would  be 
begun  to  have  the  body  of  General  Grant  removed  to  Washington  for  final  sepulture.  Our  fund  has  already  reached  a  generous  sum — nearly  $90,000 — it  will  be  $100,000 
soon  ;  but  it  must  be  obvious  that  any  doubt  which  the  public  may  have  as  to  the  desire  of  the  family  in  regard  to  the  Riverside  Park  as  a  permanent  tomb  and  the  site 
of  the  proposed  national  memorial  acts  as  a  deterrent  to  those  who  would  otherwise  freely  give. 

May  I  ask  from  your  family  a  clear  and  emphatic  expression  of  your  wish  and  preference — may  I  add,  determination — for  the  use  of  our  Executive  Committee.^ 

Ven,-  respectfully, 

W.  R.  GRACE. 
Vice-President  (jrant  Monument  Association. 

New  York,  Oct.  29,  1885. 

Dear  Sir  :  Your  letter  of  the  16th  came  during  my  absence,  and  was  received  on  my  return  from  Long  Branch. 
Riverside  was  selected  by  wisiZ/  and  mv  family  as  the  burial  place  of  my  husband,  Gen.  Grant. 
First — Because  I  believed  New  York  was  ht\  preference. 

Second— X'i  is  near  the  residence  that  I  hope  to  occupy  as  long  as  I  live,  and  where  I  will  be  able  to  visit  his  resting  place  often. 

Third— \  have  bulievevl.  and  am  now  convinced,  that  the  tomb  will  be  visited  by  as  many  of  his  countrymen  here  as  it  would  be  at  any  other  place. 
Fourth — The  oR"er  of  a  park  in  New  York  was  the  first  which  observed  and  unreservedly  assented  to  the  only  condition  imposed  by  Gen.  r.rant  himself  namely,  that  I 
should  have  a  place  by  his  side. 

I  am.  Sir,  very  sincerely. 

JULIA  D.  GRANT. 

To  WiLi-iAM  R.  Grack,  Mayor,  City  of  New  York. 

Riverside  Park  will,  through  all  time  to  come,  be  the  site  of  General  Grant's  tomb,  and  the  monument  to  be  erected  to  mark 
the  spot  should  be  worthy  of  the  man  whom  it  commemorates.
